    As a non native english speaker it’s always funny to me, how the commentators on Sky F1 immediately apologize for the “dirty” words the drivers use.

    This is actually required by law. It’s party of their broadcasting licence that they don’t use profanity before “the watershed” (2100 at night). If they receive a complaint that they were seen to allow the profanity they get fined. And repeat offending will lose their broadcast licence.

    It’s dumb and you may not agree with it, but that’s the rules.

      Then they should stop using communications that contain profanity in their broadcasts. Drivers should dump the blame on the production teams.
